Here’s the video and program for Kim Holmquists’s Bernstein concert at the Santa Babara Public Library in early March. She is still astonishingly good, seems to get better every year. Bravo and thanks, Kim. What a fabulous concert!
I Hate Music! A cycle of 5 kid Songs. Bernstein wrote both music and lyrics shortly after graduation from Harvard.
What a Movie!, from Trouble in Tahiti, a one act opera in 7 scenes about a troubled marriage in suburbia. Dinah goes to see one of those potboiler South Sea Island movies but gets caught up in the romance. Bernstein wrote both music and lyrics.
I Am Easily Assimilated from Candide. Though there are many lyricists for Candide, Bernstein himself wrote these lyrics.
